Earlier this month, a posting on Business News Daily listed ten words that are horribly overused by American professionals on their LinkedIn profiles.
“Creative” led the list as the most tired buzzword for the second straight year. Apparently, the talent pool is awash in highly creative individuals.
Oh sure “effective” and “motivated” were also up there, along with “Innovative”, “Responsible” and “Problem solving” but none of those are the title of entire departments within ad agencies and marketing firms.
But “Creative” is. And apparently isn’t.
Thanks, Dennis. Just what I needed on a Monday morning before the Christmas break.
I’m immediately changing my profile buzz word from “Creative” to “Punctual”. “Punctual” seems underused.
